Cong voices support for Chidu, Karti

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Saturday came out in support of former Union minister P Chidambaram and his son Karti Chidambaram, who are facing corruption charges, and accused the BJP government of carrying out a “repeated persecution and scurrilous witch-hunt” of the family. Congress media incharge Randeep Surjewala alleged that “persecution, vendetta and vilification” of opposition leaders had become the “sine qua non” (an essential condition) of the Narendra Modi government.
